Well it just needed some fresh gasoline.
Got a more pressing issue anyways.
We bought this bike for $400 under the belief that it was stuck in second gear.
Well I have been trying to figure out whats wrong and im stuck.
Just now I fired her up. down shifted into 1st from neutral and let out the clutch and the engine died. even from 4,000 rpm it would just die.

I lifted up the rear tire and I can feel the trans go into gear. pulled the side cover off the left hand side (just the plastic peep hole thingy) and the engine does not move but the tire moves even though its in first. can even hear the gears moving. I already checked the clutch and although its worn it still seems to have more than enough material on each disk. I made sure the clutch cable wasn't per-loaded keep the clutch disengaged by taking off the cable. and still nothing.

ANY help? My wife wants me to drive up to her grandmas house on it x-mas eve dinner to surprise everyone.
